This is one of a number of ports of very early, less successful arcade games I've been working on, and was also originally an Easter egg in my game Oyup.

Gyspy Juggler was released in 1978 by Meadows, a company that didn't enjoy much success and this was one of the last games they made before disappearing. I think it's a fun little game though, particularly compared with the others that were around at the time. The game is available to play in the browser as well as a .prg download for playing on real hardware, TheC64 or an emulator.

Controls

Fire/Z = release a juggling ball into the play area
Direction/Arrow keys = move the juggler

Tips

Bounce eggs (yes, circular eggs...) on his arms to keep them in the air
The closer to his shoulder an egg hits, the shallower the bounce angle
Eggs can bounce on his head, this will give a lower, straight bounce but award no points
Start with 1 or 2 eggs until you get used to the controls
The more eggs in play when an egg is bounced, the more points are scored
